Thanks for tuning in to this game. This is me, Ekanth, signing off on behalf of my fellow commentators, Sruthi Ravindranath and Himanshu Agrawal, and our scorer for the game, Chandan Duorah. Goodnight.

Afghanistan have lost the series but will have the opportunity to salvage some pride and get ten points in the Super League in the third game. But they will have to turn up with higher spirits and an improved performance. Bangladesh had a near perfect game, if not a perfect one. They'll look to carry through this form.

With that win, Bangladesh climb to the top of the ICC Super League Points Table

7:04pm: Bangladesh complete a comprehensive victory to wrap up the series win in the process. They get into a huddle post-game. A spirited batting performance lit up by another record partnership, this time for the third wicket, was followed up with bowlers picking up regular wickets and cutting down free scoring phases for the batters. The Afghanistani batters looked to have carried the deflated spirits early on with a suicidal run out and were always behind the 8-ball. The fifties from Rahmat Shah and Najibullah Zadran took the game to the 46th over but that could not prevent an 88-run loss.

W
Mahmudullah to Mujeeb, OUT

Full slow one on the stumps. It was slog swept to cow corner. The fielder took it in the fence, threw it up as he went over the rope, came back in and caught it after coming back in. It will be sent upstairs. No issues whatsoever! Mahmudul, the sub fielder, took it off balance which makes it all the more impressive

Mujeeb Ur Rahman c sub (Mahmudul Hasan Joy) b Mahmudullah 8 (22b 0x4 0x6 29m) SR: 36.36

The bowlers are going through the motions. The spinner's probably on to bring back the over rate
